How to Take a Screenshot with a Samsung Galaxy On5

The camera on your Samsung Galaxy On5 is great when something is happening around you, and you want to capture the moment. Unfortunately the camera is not able to take a picture of something on your screen, which is inconvenient if you have a picture of a text message conversation, or a part of a Web page that you want to share with someone else.

But you are able to take a screenshot on your Galaxy On5 by pressing a specific combination of buttons. That screenshot image can then be shared in the same manner that you would share a picture that you took with the Camera app.

Take a Picture of Your Screen on a Samsung Galaxy On5

The steps in this article will show you how to take a picture of your screen on a Samsung Galaxy On5, then find that picture in the Gallery app on your device. You can use these screenshots in the same manner that you would use pictures that you take with your camera.

You may need to try this a few times until you get it to work correctly. Taking a screenshot with the Galaxy On5 requires you to press and hold both of the buttons at the same time. You will know that you have successfully taken a screenshot when you see a transparent copy of your screen float to the top of the screen.

Step 1: Press and hold the Home button and the Power button at the same time, until a transparent image of the screen floats toward the top of the screen. The Home button is the large button under the screen, and the Power button in on the right side of the device.

(The next two steps show you how to find the screenshot that you just created.)

Step 2: Open the Apps folder.

Step 3: Tap the Gallery icon to view the collection of pictures on your Galaxy On5. You will find your screenshot in this app.
